McDonald Carano Wilson's Employment and Labor Law Group has extensive experience in employment litigation and arbitration and labor disputes. We assist our business clients in the identification, analysis and resolution of all issues raised throughout all phases of the employment relationship.

In dealing with employment matters, sitting back is not an option. We take a very aggressive, yet cost effective approach in representing management in the administrative process before the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Nevada Equal Rights Commission, in employment litigation and labor disputes. Early in the process of each case, every detail is uncovered; each fact thoroughly investigated. This enables us to better advise you to make an informed decision as to settlement. If a complaint has no merit, we will advise you to take a proactive approach to defend the case. We have enjoyed a high level of success in the disposing of claims through summary judgment, as well as trials, in employment cases.

The Group regularly assists clients in the following types of matters:

• Discrimination and Harassment
• Proceedings before the EEOC, Nevada Equal Rights Commission and the Department of Labor
• Wrongful Termination and Retaliation Claims
• Wage and Hour Issues
• Leave and Other Benefits
